00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.839
Welcome back to another episode of the Stoic Trading Psychology podcast.
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:06.240
I'm going to be trying to do more of these podcasts.
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:07.759
I'm going to try to do one a week.
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:13.199
So make sure you guys hold me accountable to that as I'm getting a lot of positive feedback on these podcasts.
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:16.000
If you guys don't know who I am, I am FX Telepath.
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:18.559
I have a YouTube channel called FX Telepath.
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:20.800
Check it out if you're finding me through podcasts.
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:30.160
I do weekly forecasts every single Saturday so you guys can follow along with my analysis instead of hindsight, PL, um, fake guru crap.
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:31.600
There's none of that on my channel.
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.359
It's straight up trading.
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:38.320
I don't show my face, I don't show my cars, nobody knows what cars I drive, nobody knows how much money I make.
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:40.799
It's all there for you guys to see.
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:42.799
Predictions before they take place.
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:44.719
That is a beautiful thing about my channel.
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:46.159
I hope everybody's doing well.
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.200
This episode will certainly be a little bit controversial.
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:56.159
I've been meaning to do this episode for quite a while now, and the topic is fundamental analysis.
00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:03.679
And in my opinion, fundamental analysis is completely bull, you know what I'm talking about.
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.799
It does not matter, but it does matter at the same time.
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:18.000
It's a little bit confusing, and I'm here to explain my thought process on why I think fundamentals don't matter for your trading.
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.040
Before we begin, let me be extremely clear.
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.799
I personally think fundamentals actually move the market.
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:25.920
Obviously.
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:35.040
If everything is bearish on the dollar, fundamental-wise, whatever, jobs, inflation, all that stuff, the dollar's most likely going to go down.
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:39.120
But what people get confused is how do you trade that?
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:41.920
And there's so many things to consider here.
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:43.519
I don't even really know where to begin.
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:47.439
So I don't really think about these podcasts beforehand and write down what I'm going to say.
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:53.359
I do have some talking points written out, but I'm just going to go off the cuff here because this is something I'm very passionate about.
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:58.959
Because in the last year, I have seen an influx of comments on my channel.
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.879
Oh, you're not taking into fundamentals.
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:02.319
Oh, the dollar's bullish.
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:17.120
Literally, go watch my forecasts for the past, I don't know, six months, or really all of 2025, and you'll see I was talking about a monthly demand and a weekly demand on the DXY, which is the US dollar index.
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:24.159
I've been talking about this demand zone on the monthly and the weekly time frame on the dollar, saying so.
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:29.199
Basically, every time we came back into that demand zone, I was talking about how I was bullish on the dollar.
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.719
And we saw price react from that demand zone to the upside literally three times.
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.199
And we are seeing a move right now.
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.319
That's the time of the recording is March 16th, 2026.
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:46.319
We are seeing a move off of that US dollar demand zone on the monthly chart and the weekly chart again.
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.919
And every time, so price came back into that weekly demand three times.
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.599
And ever literally every time price came back to that weekly zone.
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.639
I had a comment on my my forecast saying, well, you're buying the dollar, why would you buy the dollar?
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.840
It's so the fundamentals are so negative for the US dollar.
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:09.280
And maybe they were, but how do we trade that?
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:19.199
The reason that fundamental analysis is such BS is because, sure, maybe pri maybe the US dollar is bullish.
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:24.800
And let's just say it is so bullish that I'm just gonna use round hole numbers to make it very clear.
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:30.560
Let's just say the US dollar is bullish, so that means we're gonna see a move from 100 to 200.
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:36.080
Let's just use I know that's not the right numbers, but let's just use those just to make everything very simple.
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.759
Or we're gonna get from point A to point C.
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.560
Not point B, point A to point C.
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:44.639
Okay, fair enough.
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:49.680
Maybe the fundamentals are saying that, and I will agree just for the sake of the argument.
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:57.680
But that doesn't mean when we go from point A and we start to cross to point B, price could easily turn around.
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:12.479
Just because the fundamentals are positive on the on the dollar, and and which means let's just say guaranteed, guaranteed 100,000 percent price is gonna go from 100 to 3 to 300 or point A to point C.
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.759
That doesn't mean we're not gonna hesitate at point B or at 200.
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.680
The price could easily hit 200 and drop and then go up.
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:26.959
How many times have you ever looked at a chart and price just goes straight up?
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.000
Like there's no turnaround at all.
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:31.040
Almost never.
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:31.920
Okay, fine.
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.480
Crude oil the past couple weeks has been pretty crazy.
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:40.399
It literally shot up almost, I think it was like almost 50% in like two days.
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:41.279
Fair enough.
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.399
That is some crazy times because of the Israel-Iran war.
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:45.759
Fair enough.
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:56.079
But typically, if the dollar is bullish and the dollar's going to be bullish for an entire month, do you honestly think that you won't be able to get some US dollar short trades?
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.000
No, you definitely will.
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:11.839
And the reason that fundamental analysis is getting so popular now, you're seeing all your favorite trading gurus talk about fundamental analysis now, is because if you go on Google Trends, you type in fundamental analysis, I'm looking at it right now.
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:13.920
I know this is an audio podcast.
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:34.639
Wish I could do visuals sometimes, but there is a massive spike starting in basically in the in the late summer of 2025, a massive spike in search results, basically over a 300% spike in search results for fundamental analysis.
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:39.360
And basically, all of these YouTubers they use these trends.
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:50.800
Even I'm a YouTuber myself, so on YouTube in our analytics, there are trends, they show you the trends of what people are searching for and stuff, and fundamental analysis has started a trend.
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:57.439
And that is why all of a sudden, your favorite trading guru absolutely needs to use fundamentals.
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.639
And if you're not using fundamental analysis, you don't have an edge.
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:08.160
But which is funny because their whole channel, the entire time, they've been trading just technical analysis, doing just fine, apparently.
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:14.639
And then all of a sudden, since the search results have a spike, all of a sudden, oh, you need fundamental analysis.
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.560
It's complete and utter BS.
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:23.279
They are just using the spike in search results to get views, to get people to click because they know that they're searching for it.
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.160
It is the scummiest marketing tactic ever.
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:28.480
That kind of stuff right there.
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:34.480
You know, I will admit, there are some things where price is spiking, where it's like, oh, maybe I should do a video on that, right?
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.240
Like, but it's got to be related to me.
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:45.920
Like, I'm not just if if um I don't even know, the SMC trading starts to get really popular next year, I'm not gonna do videos on that because I don't use that.
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:55.279
I just because fundamental analysis started spiking, I start I started to see it spike in my YouTube analytics, and I I don't use it.
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:56.399
I never have.
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:58.079
So I'm not gonna make videos on it.
00:06:58.160 --> 00:06:58.959
It's really that simple.
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:00.639
I'm all I'm trying to be honest here.
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:02.879
If I used it, I would promote it.
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.319
But I don't, so I'm not, and that is the reality.
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:20.160
Is this a it's it's a it's been a popular search term, and I think the reason it's becoming more popular is it started to get more popular the search term fundamental analysis when Donald Trump started to do all the tariffs.
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:33.680
When all the tariffs started to come into play, all of a sudden the search results the search results for fundamental analysis started to go huge because people are trying to get they're trying to catch that crazy move, they're trying to catch the right side of the move and and spike up.
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.279
And that is really stupid.
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:41.279
If you're trying to predict economic data or economic events, you're gonna get hammered.
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:42.800
I promise you that.
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.399
Promise, promise, promise you that you will get hammered.
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.800
And that's the reality.
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.040
You don't need fundamental analysis.
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:56.480
One big reason you don't need fundamental analysis is because of the term priced in.
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.079
I talked about it a little bit on the last podcast, priced in.
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:05.199
The insiders are already pricing in the narratives.
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:18.160
100% price already reflects the fundamentals, institutions price in interest rates, uh, economic expectations, geopolitical news, long before we are reading about it.
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:19.120
I promise you.
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:20.800
Literally, think about that.
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:25.600
If fundamentals really work for trading, everybody reading the same news would win.
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:30.959
You'd be like, oh, oh, um, Trump or Israel did this to Iran.
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:32.399
That's bullish for the dollar.
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:34.799
Boom, we all buy, we all become rich.
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:36.559
Let's end homelessness, everybody.
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.360
We could just read a news uh article, and then we're good.
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.200
It is complete and utter BS.
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:52.320
And before I move on even more, I every Sunday in the in the Sunday Zoom or in the Sunday meeting, sorry, in the Sunday forecast, uh, I do talk about fundamentals very quickly.
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.840
But the only thing I'm pointing out, it is for day traders.
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:04.159
We go over, we go to forexfactory.com, we click the red folder news for the week, and we are identifying when the red folder news is coming out.
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:09.279
The reason we do that is so that you're not caught in the storm essentially.
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:22.720
It's kind of like waiting out the storm, it's kind of like you know that there's a bunch of you're gonna you want to go on a walk and you look at the weather app and you identify, oh, at 8 o'clock it's gonna storm until 8 30.
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:26.720
So are you gonna go for a walk at 8 15?
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:27.440
No.
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:28.399
Right?
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.799
If you are gonna go start, are you gonna start your walk at 8 a.m.?
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:31.759
No, you're not.
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.120
It's the same thing with the with the red folder economic data.
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:40.720
If you are a day trader, you need to understand when that economic data is coming out.
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.519
That's what I talk about every Sunday.
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:53.919
I just quickly, at the start of the forecast, I go over all the red folder data and I tell people if you are day trading, you have to be mindful of that data to come out.
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.000
So, for example, let's say at 8 a.m.
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.279
CPI is coming out for the US dollar, the consumer price index, that's an inflationary number.
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.759
That will affect the price of the dollar 100%.
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:11.679
Again, let me be clear fundamental analysis fundamentals, economic data will move the market 100%.
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:15.279
But we don't, we're not trying to predict that.
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.039
Nobody is predicting the CPI or whatever.
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.000
And like, let's say you could predict the CPI.
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:23.679
Let's just say you could 100%.
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.240
It doesn't mean that price is not gonna spike in the in the opposite direction.
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:32.480
The banks, the big players could have other expectations.
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:47.919
Maybe it's reasonable to expect, you know, during co uh, I don't want to say the word, but during C19, the big sickness in 2020, I remember there was very blatantly odd, like obviously the job numbers were gonna be bad because everybody was losing their job.
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:49.279
Everybody knew that.
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:55.279
Do you think it was as easy as just shorting the rate as the job numbers came out?
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.039
No, it was not.
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:58.320
It's not that easy.
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:12.159
A good thing to ask yourself is, and once as I get older here in my in life, and just in real life, the the one of the best pieces of advice that I've ever read is if it's too good to be true, it probably is.
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:18.000
And if it's too good to be true, there's probably some other factors that you know we're not considering.
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.080
That is so true when it comes to trading.
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:25.279
If it's too good to be true, if it's just like obviously everybody's losing their jobs because of the whole sickness in 2020.
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:26.320
Well, it's short.
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:27.600
No, it doesn't work like that.
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:28.559
That's stupid.
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.919
And you need to identify that that is not how the markets work.
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.799
Sam Siden is the founder of supply and demand trading.
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.320
I trade supply and demand zones.
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:40.159
He is the founder of the methodology.
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:45.360
One of his greatest quotes was trade what is real, not what you feel.
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:54.720
When trade and that's the beautiful thing about supply and demand zones, and understanding that fundamentals, you're not going to trade off of fundamentals.
00:11:55.039 --> 00:12:00.080
Because you can identify without fundamentals where the banks are buying.
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:05.759
Because you can identify those explosive candles, and I've talked about this so many times.
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:23.360
It is objective reality when you see an explosive candle to the upside, it is completely objective reality that banks and institutions were buying there because people like me and you, I don't have the account size, you don't have the account size to move the market like that at all.
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:36.879
So it is object, it is an objective fact that you can identify where they are buying and where they are selling on a price chart by looking at the candles, by trading what is real, not what you feel.
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.279
And don't get me wrong, it's not a holy grail because yeah, they've bought there before.
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:49.759
So let's say price is basing at$100 to$102 for like a couple days, and then all of a sudden, boom, a big spike up to$110.
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:53.759
You will see that on a chart, you will see a massive candle on the chart.
00:12:54.320 --> 00:13:11.519
And what we do as supply and demand traders is we wrap our lines around 100 and 102, because that is where the banks were buying before price shut up, and then when price shot up, buyers clearly exceeded sellers so much that price shot up to 110 in one big candle.
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:14.960
But that doesn't mean that that they're gonna buy there again.
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:16.720
So it's not a holy grail.
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.440
If it was, we I would be a multi-trillionaire.
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:39.440
We are going to lose, but it is stacking the odds in our favor by identifying when these where these big moves are taking place and where the banks are buying, not predicting what the CPI is, not looking at bogus economic stuff where it's like it's maybe it's bullish, but it doesn't mean we can't get a short trade.
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:44.480
And I did a great long course on sent forget trading, supply and demand zones.
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:53.120
And in that course, I talk about trade management and how not every trade is going to be the same risk to reward.
00:13:53.279 --> 00:14:04.480
That was one mistake I was making even like two years ago, where I thought I'd just be like every trade, like looking for a three to one, or four to one, or five to one, whatever I was kind of testing at the time.
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:17.360
And it I was doing fine, but my my return, my results started to become much better when I could identify when to be aggressive with my trade management and when to be less aggressive with my trade management.
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:25.919
I now have the ability to understand when I should go for a three-to-one to a five to one trade and when to just go for a quick one-to-one and not be greedy.
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.720
For example, on gold, gold has been crazy lately because of the whole Israel-Iran thing.
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:35.039
I don't want to say the W word, I don't know what YouTube thinks or what these apps think.
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:36.320
I'm not trying to get banned.
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:43.679
And I was pointing out a one-hour demand zone to the members in the daily market breakdown video, and I was talking about how it was a good trade, it's a decent zone.
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:45.039
It could be good for a one-to-one.
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.960
I wouldn't be getting greedy here on gold because of the volatility of gold.
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:53.039
And literally three of them posted that trade.
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:59.840
Look, they got a quick one-to-one off my zone, and because they paid attention, they listened, they didn't get greedy.
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:09.120
And that is what separates a good trader from bad trader is understanding these situations when you can be aggressive, when to be non-aggressive with trade management.
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:15.440
And again, maybe the fundamentals are saying that it's bullish on the dollar.
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.639
So longs are favored, fair enough.
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:25.279
But do you honestly think that the dollar will just go straight up to where it's where the fair price is based on those fundamentals?
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:26.399
No, absolutely not.
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:30.480
We will see moves to the upside, moves to the downside, and we can catch all those moves.
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:34.159
I agree that trading with the trend is always going to be better.
00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:35.039
100%.
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:46.240
But typically, the fundamentals are gonna be somewhat bad maybe for the day as price is pulling back into a demand zone, and we're still I'm still gonna hop on that trade.
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:52.960
And listen, look, I've been trading for six years without using fundamentals, fundamental analysis at all, and I'm doing just fine.
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:58.080
I really don't think that there's some sort of secret edge when using fundamentals.
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:18.960
Um but I will say this if you are looking for massive, massive risk reward trades, like 10 to 1, you're looking for crazy massive risk reward trades, you're basically an investor at that point, then I if you are gonna do that, then okay, fair enough.
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:23.600
Learn about GDP, learn about earnings if you're trading stocks, interest rates, all that stuff.
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:24.399
Fair enough.
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:42.879
If you're holding, like there's people who I who are day trading or they're entering on a one-hour chart and they're talking about fundamentals, like really, it doesn't make if you're day trading a five-minute chart, or even entering on a one-hour chart, how how do fundamentals affect that?
00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:45.519
Because price doesn't just go straight up, it doesn't.
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:47.519
We will see moves to the downside.
00:16:47.679 --> 00:17:00.639
It could like you know how many times it's economic data is coming out, or it's come out where it's super bearish on the dollar, we see maybe an initial spike down, but then for the rest of the day, we recover and we we fill the gap and we start to push up again.
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:05.039
There's tons of money to be made there, and if there's a demand zone, I'm buying that.
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:11.759
I don't care what the fundamentals say because I know that everybody's gonna be, oh, it's so negative, and I'm gonna be trading against them.
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:20.960
So if you're swing trading one to one, two to one, three to one risk rewards, even five to one risk rewards, you don't need to use fundamental analysis.
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:25.920
It's literally just a huge crazy trend right now because of Trump and all the stuff going on.
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:35.200
Everybody wants to hop on the big move, everybody's tired of getting stopped out because of that volatility, and I understand, but that's that's the reality.
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:42.400
News creates fundamental analysis, it creates volatility, doesn't really create a specific direction at all.
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:50.640
For me to understand trend and direction of where price is going, I will literally use a trend line and my way of using and looking at trends.
00:17:51.039 --> 00:18:00.400
And again, if if fundamentals work for trading, everybody would just read the same news and like oh CPI down, equal good, and I buy now, and now everybody rich.
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:01.119
It's stupid.
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:06.160
Think about that, and then that's the reality too, is you don't know where to put your stop, right?
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:08.480
Fundamentals don't give precise entries.
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:15.599
A news narrative might say the US dollar should go up, but it doesn't tell you where to enter, where to put your stop, or where liquidity is at, or where to put your take profit.
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.640
It doesn't, and the narrative will constantly change as well.
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:29.200
One week inflation will matter, the next week job data does matter, then suddenly uh geopolitics matter, and the people who are chasing these narratives are always reacting late.
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:30.559
That's the reality as well.
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:35.519
So that's why I tell people understand when the fundamentals are coming out, don't predict them.
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:37.039
Trade what is real.
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:41.839
You can again you can identify on a price chart where the banks are buying.
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:57.200
Nobody can sit there and I can pull up one of my demand zones, so I can take anybody on earth, I can pull up one of my demand zones, show the explosive move away, and I will ask them, Did buyers exceed sellers at this price area?
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:03.759
And if they have a brain and eyes, they will say yes, because they will see that price shot up aggressively.
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:15.599
And then my next question to them will be can retail traders like you and I make this move in the forex market or in the oil market or in the gold market?
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:19.839
And if they have brains, if they have a brain, they will say no.
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:22.559
So then who created that move?
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:32.720
A bank or an institution, somebody with millions and millions of dollars, and we want to trade with them, not with the retail traders.
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:34.240
It is that simple.
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.720
And again, it might sound like I'm saying that supply and demand is a holy grail.
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:39.440
Absolutely not.
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:42.160
You will take losses 100%.
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:45.440
There are supply and demand strategies.
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:50.720
If you're looking for a larger risk reward, like one to five, you will literally lose more than you win.
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:51.680
I promise you that.
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:53.039
You can still make money though.
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:55.119
That's what a lot of people don't understand.
00:19:55.759 --> 00:20:03.599
So I'm I'm kind of wrapping up this podcast because it's kind of just a big rant, but it's just I'm just sick of seeing this.
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.279
It's like the newest fad in the in the trading industry.
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:15.680
Before it was SMC or whatever, or ICT, now it's economic data, and you gotta learn the economic data.
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:16.960
No, you don't.
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:24.079
If you're gonna invest in a company, let's say you trade stocks and you're gonna invest in a company, fair enough.
00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:27.839
I mean, you should look at you should look at the CEO of the company.
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:30.079
Is he buying shares or is he selling shares?
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:31.920
Like, is he invested in the company?
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:37.279
These are definitely things you need to consider for long-term investing, 100%.
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:56.720
However, I've also I use a scanner for stocks, and I scan stocks that are at a massive decline, and I basically identify demand zones on a 12-month or a six-month chart, and I have done this so many times where I buy that demand zone, and this is gonna sound crazy.
00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:57.920
I haven't taken a loss yet.
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:04.799
I've only done it about six, six, seven times, because it does take quite a while for price to come back to a 12-month or six-month demand zone.
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:07.839
But I have done just that the concept of buying low.
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:09.839
Haven't even looked at the company.
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:13.200
Like at the fundamentals of the company.
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:15.440
But that's maybe for another discussion.
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:17.039
If you want me to talk about that, I will.
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:19.039
We could talk about long-term investing.
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:21.519
I don't really recommend that unless you know what you're doing.
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:29.599
I also have ri I also have a risk system in play where I don't actually have a stop loss in these markets.
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:33.839
I basically just buy enough shares where if it went to zero, I'm fine with it.
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:36.559
And that has worked out beautifully for me.
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:42.319
Just trade just looking at a level where it's like, okay, clearly buyers exceeded sellers here.
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:43.599
We can't make those moves.
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:44.240
The banks did.
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:45.839
I'm buying where they bought before.
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:49.440
Maybe they're gonna buy there again, maybe there's leftover buy orders, whatever.
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:51.680
So you don't need fundamental analysis.
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:52.799
I'm sick of seeing it.
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:59.599
Uh, there's pr it's it's just another way for these trading gurus and furus, whatever you want to call them.
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:01.680
To sell another course.
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:05.759
And you know, full disclosure, I have a course, I have a membership.
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:12.000
You guys probably know that by now, but I'm not just gonna oh fundamental trading course 101.
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.920
What you need to what you need to learn fundamentals in order to trade.
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:23.359
I could easily do that and probably make a bunch more money trading that because I can I can identify the Google trend of fundamental analysis and do that.
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:28.400
And that's what everybody needs to start understanding is they are just hopping on a trend.
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:31.680
And that to me is such a red flag.
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:43.839
Um, especially like if if somebody was always using fundamental analysis, maybe they look at CPI and they study the CPI and they've identified this week based on this data, maybe it's better to be buying the dollar.
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:52.319
If they've been doing that for the past five years and they have a channel for the past five years, and that's how they've always been trading, that's completely reasonable to me, and I don't think that's a red flag at all.
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:59.279
But if somebody just all of a sudden this year, oh fundament you you don't use fundamentals, you don't have an edge.
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:01.200
Completely BS.
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:06.079
I would comp I would unsubscribe from that person and unfollow that person.
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:08.079
It's it's crazy.
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:14.079
The it's just but that's the reality of this industry is a lot of scummy people out there.
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:16.160
Um we all know who they are.
00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:22.000
Unfortunately, they just keep um screwing people over.
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:27.359
And the reality is all their channels they they make money off of all the newbies in trading.
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:43.920
It'd be it's it's amazing how many people I've seen join my group, and they're like, I have spent thousands of dollars, I spent a thousand dollars, two thousand dollars on this person's membership, and you explain more in one Sunday meeting than they explain in their entire course, and I'm not surprised.
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:46.720
It's crazy, and it makes me sick.
00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:51.440
You guys know I I hate these gurus, and okay, you can call me a guru if you want to.
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:52.079
Fair enough.
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:58.160
I have a channel, I have a course, whatever, but at least I post my I'm posting my forecasts before they take place.
00:23:58.240 --> 00:23:59.839
I'm not just posting PLs.
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.799
I could easily create a PNL, I could easily show my PL, but I'm not gonna do that.
00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:09.680
So, anyways, it's been like a 25-minute rant.
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:11.839
I hope you guys learned something here.
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:16.079
Um, remember, fundamentals, that's for investors, that's for long-term trades.
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:21.200
You're looking for a two-to-one trade, you're not you don't need fundamentals, you really don't.
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:22.240
I promise you that.
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:27.039
All you need to understand is when the news is coming out, that's important.
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:35.759
And again, let me let me reemphasize that fundamentals will drive price, but it doesn't mean that price is is just gonna go from point A to point C.
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:48.640
We're gonna go to from point A to point B, most likely drop, dip, where we can then buy the dip, or even short at point B, short at 200, whatever whatever you want to use to just try to create example in my head.
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:54.640
I wish I could show you guys in a chart, but it doesn't mean that price is gonna go from point A to point C immediately.
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:59.200
If it did, we would all be rich because we just read that headline and boom, we're buying.
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:02.799
It's not reality, it's not reality at all.
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:12.720
So remember, if you see these guys on here all of a sudden talking about fundamental analysis, they're just hopping on a trend.
00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:15.279
It is just marketing BS.
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:22.160
But again, if if it if this person has always used fundamental and their now fundamental analysis and their overall analysis, fair enough.
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:23.440
I have nothing wrong with that.
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:25.440
Um, I am not targeting those people at all.
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:27.039
I really don't know anybody like that.
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:29.119
I'm not targeting those people at all.
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:32.559
So if you're a day trader, understand when the red folder news is coming out.
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:41.359
Go to forexfactory.com and then look at the time, and then for example, let's say the neck economic data is coming out at 8 a.m.
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:46.000
I would hold off on trading until after 8.15.
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:49.200
Wait for that spike to take place, because it will spike.
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:52.960
And and notice notice this as well.
00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:55.119
Let's say it does spike.
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:59.200
Look at the data, look at what came out, identify if it is positive.
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:03.839
Let's just say the date the data came out and it's positive where price should spike to the upside.
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:06.559
Do you honestly think it's always gonna spike to the upside?
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:08.480
No, it's gonna spike to the downside.
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:18.960
Maybe the algorithms I've have identified that there are a bunch of stop losses below a certain low, and they're gonna spike them out first and then shoot up.
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:21.119
That's why we need to trade what is real.
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:30.240
That's why supply and demand trading is so relevant and so objective, and in my opinion, it is the best trading strategy because it's so objective.
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:37.759
Where maybe, and again, that doesn't mean that if you trade chart patterns or indicators or whatever, I'm sure there's uh people trading that profitably.
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:39.200
I'm not denying that.
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:50.400
But uh a triangle pattern doesn't really move the market, the banks move the market, and we can identify in a price chart where the banks are buying and selling.
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:55.599
And you hopefully I explained that good enough in this uh in this podcast.
00:26:55.759 --> 00:27:03.599
Again, I wish this was a visual podcast because it would help a little bit, but um, I hope you guys learned a lot in this podcast.
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:11.039
Um, I know it's controversial based off the comments I've been getting, and you don't trade fundamentals, what you idiot?
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:20.079
And it's like, yeah, you're just you're just a victim to uh trading guru marketing because of a spike in in uh in search results.
00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:21.119
It's hilarious.
00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:22.799
So you don't need it.
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.720
If if you're gonna be a if you're gonna be an investor, you're gonna learn about companies, fair enough.
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:33.599
Look into their earnings, look into the in the GDP of the country, you're you're you're looking to invest in a currency, fair enough.
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:37.680
But you also need to consider the chart as well.
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:38.880
Trade what is real.
00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:48.880
Do you think that when price, let's say, let's last, last but not least here, do you think let's just say there's a monthly demand zone and price is dipping significantly.
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:55.519
Do you honestly think that the news that the fundamentals are gonna be good as we dip into that that monthly zone?
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:56.559
Probably not.
00:27:57.200 --> 00:27:58.160
Probably not.
00:27:58.319 --> 00:28:02.480
But we're still gonna buy at that zone because we're looking for two to one, three to one trades here.
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:05.759
We're not looking for 15, 20 to 1 trades.
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:08.319
And if you're doing that, fair enough.
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:12.319
Look at the data, look at the look at the CPI, all that stuff.
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:12.880
Fair enough.
00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:13.519
Come up.
00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:16.400
I don't even know how to look at all that and what to think about all that.
00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:17.440
I really don't.
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:19.759
Because I'm not looking for 15 to 1 trades.
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:22.160
I'm looking to get in and I'm looking to get out.
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:32.160
Once you get above 5 to 1 risk reward, pushing towards a 10 to 1, which I don't even recommend because nobody can really handle those losses, because you're gonna lose more.
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:34.880
There's no there's a pros and cons to everything.
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:38.480
If you're looking for massive risk rewards, you're gonna you're gonna lose more trades.
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:39.839
It's it's that simple.
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:42.160
So hopefully you guys learned a lot.
00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:43.839
Let me know what you thought about this podcast.
00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:46.640
What do you guys think about fundamental analysis?
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:47.519
Is it BS?
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:53.119
And it's it's kind of a it is kind of a clickbaity title because it's not BS.
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:59.279
It does move the market, but it's BS if you're looking for a two to one, three to one risk reward, which is what I see these people trading for.
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:03.599
There are literally these gurus day trading, a five-minute, one-minute time frame.
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:06.640
They're scalpers and they're talking about fundamentals.
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:08.319
It is just hilarious.
00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:10.960
So, anyways, that's gonna wrap it up.
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:12.400
Hope you guys enjoyed this podcast.

Watch my forecast.
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:23.680
Go back, look at the predictions that I've been making.
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:28.079
Again, that US dollar monthly demand zone, weekly demand zone I've been talking about.
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:35.119
We have seen literally, I'm looking at it right now, one, two, three reactions off of the zone, and we are finally going to where I was talking about.
00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:39.599
And again, every time we came back into that weekly zone, I had a person commenting on my forecast.
00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:41.359
You you complete moron.
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:43.200
The US dollar is weak.
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:44.079
Why would you buy?
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:50.480
And they probably lost every single trade that they took trying to short the dollar because the fundamentals or whatever.
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:51.680
It's funny.
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:53.279
So hope you guys learned a lot.
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:56.480

See you in the next one.
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.839
Welcome back to another episode of the Stoic Trading Psychology podcast.
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:06.240
I'm going to be trying to do more of these podcasts.
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:07.759
I'm going to try to do one a week.
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:13.199
So make sure you guys hold me accountable to that as I'm getting a lot of positive feedback on these podcasts.
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:16.000
If you guys don't know who I am, I am FX Telepath.
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:18.559
I have a YouTube channel called FX Telepath.
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:20.800
Check it out if you're finding me through podcasts.
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:30.160
I do weekly forecasts every single Saturday so you guys can follow along with my analysis instead of hindsight, PL, um, fake guru crap.
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:31.600
There's none of that on my channel.
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.359
It's straight up trading.
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:38.320
I don't show my face, I don't show my cars, nobody knows what cars I drive, nobody knows how much money I make.
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:40.799
It's all there for you guys to see.
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:42.799
Predictions before they take place.
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:44.719
That is a beautiful thing about my channel.
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:46.159
I hope everybody's doing well.
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.200
This episode will certainly be a little bit controversial.
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:56.159
I've been meaning to do this episode for quite a while now, and the topic is fundamental analysis.
00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:03.679
And in my opinion, fundamental analysis is completely bull, you know what I'm talking about.
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.799
It does not matter, but it does matter at the same time.
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:18.000
It's a little bit confusing, and I'm here to explain my thought process on why I think fundamentals don't matter for your trading.
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.040
Before we begin, let me be extremely clear.
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.799
I personally think fundamentals actually move the market.
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:25.920
Obviously.
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:35.040
If everything is bearish on the dollar, fundamental-wise, whatever, jobs, inflation, all that stuff, the dollar's most likely going to go down.
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:39.120
But what people get confused is how do you trade that?
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:41.920
And there's so many things to consider here.
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:43.519
I don't even really know where to begin.
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:47.439
So I don't really think about these podcasts beforehand and write down what I'm going to say.
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:53.359
I do have some talking points written out, but I'm just going to go off the cuff here because this is something I'm very passionate about.
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:58.959
Because in the last year, I have seen an influx of comments on my channel.
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.879
Oh, you're not taking into fundamentals.
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:02.319
Oh, the dollar's bullish.
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:17.120
Literally, go watch my forecasts for the past, I don't know, six months, or really all of 2025, and you'll see I was talking about a monthly demand and a weekly demand on the DXY, which is the US dollar index.
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:24.159
I've been talking about this demand zone on the monthly and the weekly time frame on the dollar, saying so.
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:29.199
Basically, every time we came back into that demand zone, I was talking about how I was bullish on the dollar.
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.719
And we saw price react from that demand zone to the upside literally three times.
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.199
And we are seeing a move right now.
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.319
That's the time of the recording is March 16th, 2026.
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:46.319
We are seeing a move off of that US dollar demand zone on the monthly chart and the weekly chart again.
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.919
And every time, so price came back into that weekly demand three times.
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.599
And ever literally every time price came back to that weekly zone.
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.639
I had a comment on my my forecast saying, well, you're buying the dollar, why would you buy the dollar?
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.840
It's so the fundamentals are so negative for the US dollar.
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:09.280
And maybe they were, but how do we trade that?
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:19.199
The reason that fundamental analysis is such BS is because, sure, maybe pri maybe the US dollar is bullish.
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:24.800
And let's just say it is so bullish that I'm just gonna use round hole numbers to make it very clear.
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:30.560
Let's just say the US dollar is bullish, so that means we're gonna see a move from 100 to 200.
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:36.080
Let's just use I know that's not the right numbers, but let's just use those just to make everything very simple.
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.759
Or we're gonna get from point A to point C.
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.560
Not point B, point A to point C.
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:44.639
Okay, fair enough.
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:49.680
Maybe the fundamentals are saying that, and I will agree just for the sake of the argument.
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:57.680
But that doesn't mean when we go from point A and we start to cross to point B, price could easily turn around.
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:12.479
Just because the fundamentals are positive on the on the dollar, and and which means let's just say guaranteed, guaranteed 100,000 percent price is gonna go from 100 to 3 to 300 or point A to point C.
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.759
That doesn't mean we're not gonna hesitate at point B or at 200.
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.680
The price could easily hit 200 and drop and then go up.
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:26.959
How many times have you ever looked at a chart and price just goes straight up?
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.000
Like there's no turnaround at all.
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:31.040
Almost never.
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:31.920
Okay, fine.
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.480
Crude oil the past couple weeks has been pretty crazy.
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:40.399
It literally shot up almost, I think it was like almost 50% in like two days.
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:41.279
Fair enough.
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.399
That is some crazy times because of the Israel-Iran war.
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:45.759
Fair enough.
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:56.079
But typically, if the dollar is bullish and the dollar's going to be bullish for an entire month, do you honestly think that you won't be able to get some US dollar short trades?
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.000
No, you definitely will.
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:11.839
And the reason that fundamental analysis is getting so popular now, you're seeing all your favorite trading gurus talk about fundamental analysis now, is because if you go on Google Trends, you type in fundamental analysis, I'm looking at it right now.
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:13.920
I know this is an audio podcast.
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:34.639
Wish I could do visuals sometimes, but there is a massive spike starting in basically in the in the late summer of 2025, a massive spike in search results, basically over a 300% spike in search results for fundamental analysis.
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:39.360
And basically, all of these YouTubers they use these trends.
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:50.800
Even I'm a YouTuber myself, so on YouTube in our analytics, there are trends, they show you the trends of what people are searching for and stuff, and fundamental analysis has started a trend.
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:57.439
And that is why all of a sudden, your favorite trading guru absolutely needs to use fundamentals.
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.639
And if you're not using fundamental analysis, you don't have an edge.
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:08.160
But which is funny because their whole channel, the entire time, they've been trading just technical analysis, doing just fine, apparently.
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:14.639
And then all of a sudden, since the search results have a spike, all of a sudden, oh, you need fundamental analysis.
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.560
It's complete and utter BS.
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:23.279
They are just using the spike in search results to get views, to get people to click because they know that they're searching for it.
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.160
It is the scummiest marketing tactic ever.
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:28.480
That kind of stuff right there.
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:34.480
You know, I will admit, there are some things where price is spiking, where it's like, oh, maybe I should do a video on that, right?
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.240
Like, but it's got to be related to me.
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:45.920
Like, I'm not just if if um I don't even know, the SMC trading starts to get really popular next year, I'm not gonna do videos on that because I don't use that.
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:55.279
I just because fundamental analysis started spiking, I start I started to see it spike in my YouTube analytics, and I I don't use it.
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:56.399
I never have.
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:58.079
So I'm not gonna make videos on it.
00:06:58.160 --> 00:06:58.959
It's really that simple.
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:00.639
I'm all I'm trying to be honest here.
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:02.879
If I used it, I would promote it.
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.319
But I don't, so I'm not, and that is the reality.
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:20.160
Is this a it's it's a it's been a popular search term, and I think the reason it's becoming more popular is it started to get more popular the search term fundamental analysis when Donald Trump started to do all the tariffs.
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:33.680
When all the tariffs started to come into play, all of a sudden the search results the search results for fundamental analysis started to go huge because people are trying to get they're trying to catch that crazy move, they're trying to catch the right side of the move and and spike up.
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.279
And that is really stupid.
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:41.279
If you're trying to predict economic data or economic events, you're gonna get hammered.
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:42.800
I promise you that.
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.399
Promise, promise, promise you that you will get hammered.
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.800
And that's the reality.
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.040
You don't need fundamental analysis.
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:56.480
One big reason you don't need fundamental analysis is because of the term priced in.
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.079
I talked about it a little bit on the last podcast, priced in.
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:05.199
The insiders are already pricing in the narratives.
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:18.160
100% price already reflects the fundamentals, institutions price in interest rates, uh, economic expectations, geopolitical news, long before we are reading about it.
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:19.120
I promise you.
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:20.800
Literally, think about that.
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:25.600
If fundamentals really work for trading, everybody reading the same news would win.
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:30.959
You'd be like, oh, oh, um, Trump or Israel did this to Iran.
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:32.399
That's bullish for the dollar.
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:34.799
Boom, we all buy, we all become rich.
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:36.559
Let's end homelessness, everybody.
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.360
We could just read a news uh article, and then we're good.
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.200
It is complete and utter BS.
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:52.320
And before I move on even more, I every Sunday in the in the Sunday Zoom or in the Sunday meeting, sorry, in the Sunday forecast, uh, I do talk about fundamentals very quickly.
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.840
But the only thing I'm pointing out, it is for day traders.
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:04.159
We go over, we go to forexfactory.com, we click the red folder news for the week, and we are identifying when the red folder news is coming out.
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:09.279
The reason we do that is so that you're not caught in the storm essentially.
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:22.720
It's kind of like waiting out the storm, it's kind of like you know that there's a bunch of you're gonna you want to go on a walk and you look at the weather app and you identify, oh, at 8 o'clock it's gonna storm until 8 30.
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:26.720
So are you gonna go for a walk at 8 15?
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:27.440
No.
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:28.399
Right?
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.799
If you are gonna go start, are you gonna start your walk at 8 a.m.?
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:31.759
No, you're not.
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.120
It's the same thing with the with the red folder economic data.
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:40.720
If you are a day trader, you need to understand when that economic data is coming out.
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.519
That's what I talk about every Sunday.
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:53.919
I just quickly, at the start of the forecast, I go over all the red folder data and I tell people if you are day trading, you have to be mindful of that data to come out.
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.000
So, for example, let's say at 8 a.m.
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.279
CPI is coming out for the US dollar, the consumer price index, that's an inflationary number.
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.759
That will affect the price of the dollar 100%.
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:11.679
Again, let me be clear fundamental analysis fundamentals, economic data will move the market 100%.
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:15.279
But we don't, we're not trying to predict that.
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.039
Nobody is predicting the CPI or whatever.
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.000
And like, let's say you could predict the CPI.
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:23.679
Let's just say you could 100%.
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.240
It doesn't mean that price is not gonna spike in the in the opposite direction.
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:32.480
The banks, the big players could have other expectations.
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:47.919
Maybe it's reasonable to expect, you know, during co uh, I don't want to say the word, but during C19, the big sickness in 2020, I remember there was very blatantly odd, like obviously the job numbers were gonna be bad because everybody was losing their job.
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:49.279
Everybody knew that.
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:55.279
Do you think it was as easy as just shorting the rate as the job numbers came out?
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.039
No, it was not.
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:58.320
It's not that easy.
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:12.159
A good thing to ask yourself is, and once as I get older here in my in life, and just in real life, the the one of the best pieces of advice that I've ever read is if it's too good to be true, it probably is.
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:18.000
And if it's too good to be true, there's probably some other factors that you know we're not considering.
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.080
That is so true when it comes to trading.
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:25.279
If it's too good to be true, if it's just like obviously everybody's losing their jobs because of the whole sickness in 2020.
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:26.320
Well, it's short.
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:27.600
No, it doesn't work like that.
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:28.559
That's stupid.
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.919
And you need to identify that that is not how the markets work.
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.799
Sam Siden is the founder of supply and demand trading.
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.320
I trade supply and demand zones.
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:40.159
He is the founder of the methodology.
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:45.360
One of his greatest quotes was trade what is real, not what you feel.
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:54.720
When trade and that's the beautiful thing about supply and demand zones, and understanding that fundamentals, you're not going to trade off of fundamentals.
00:11:55.039 --> 00:12:00.080
Because you can identify without fundamentals where the banks are buying.
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:05.759
Because you can identify those explosive candles, and I've talked about this so many times.
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:23.360
It is objective reality when you see an explosive candle to the upside, it is completely objective reality that banks and institutions were buying there because people like me and you, I don't have the account size, you don't have the account size to move the market like that at all.
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:36.879
So it is object, it is an objective fact that you can identify where they are buying and where they are selling on a price chart by looking at the candles, by trading what is real, not what you feel.
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.279
And don't get me wrong, it's not a holy grail because yeah, they've bought there before.
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:49.759
So let's say price is basing at$100 to$102 for like a couple days, and then all of a sudden, boom, a big spike up to$110.
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:53.759
You will see that on a chart, you will see a massive candle on the chart.
00:12:54.320 --> 00:13:11.519
And what we do as supply and demand traders is we wrap our lines around 100 and 102, because that is where the banks were buying before price shut up, and then when price shot up, buyers clearly exceeded sellers so much that price shot up to 110 in one big candle.
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:14.960
But that doesn't mean that that they're gonna buy there again.
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:16.720
So it's not a holy grail.
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.440
If it was, we I would be a multi-trillionaire.
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:39.440
We are going to lose, but it is stacking the odds in our favor by identifying when these where these big moves are taking place and where the banks are buying, not predicting what the CPI is, not looking at bogus economic stuff where it's like it's maybe it's bullish, but it doesn't mean we can't get a short trade.
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:44.480
And I did a great long course on sent forget trading, supply and demand zones.
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:53.120
And in that course, I talk about trade management and how not every trade is going to be the same risk to reward.
00:13:53.279 --> 00:14:04.480
That was one mistake I was making even like two years ago, where I thought I'd just be like every trade, like looking for a three to one, or four to one, or five to one, whatever I was kind of testing at the time.
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:17.360
And it I was doing fine, but my my return, my results started to become much better when I could identify when to be aggressive with my trade management and when to be less aggressive with my trade management.
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:25.919
I now have the ability to understand when I should go for a three-to-one to a five to one trade and when to just go for a quick one-to-one and not be greedy.
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.720
For example, on gold, gold has been crazy lately because of the whole Israel-Iran thing.
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:35.039
I don't want to say the W word, I don't know what YouTube thinks or what these apps think.
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:36.320
I'm not trying to get banned.
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:43.679
And I was pointing out a one-hour demand zone to the members in the daily market breakdown video, and I was talking about how it was a good trade, it's a decent zone.
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:45.039
It could be good for a one-to-one.
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.960
I wouldn't be getting greedy here on gold because of the volatility of gold.
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:53.039
And literally three of them posted that trade.
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:59.840
Look, they got a quick one-to-one off my zone, and because they paid attention, they listened, they didn't get greedy.
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:09.120
And that is what separates a good trader from bad trader is understanding these situations when you can be aggressive, when to be non-aggressive with trade management.
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:15.440
And again, maybe the fundamentals are saying that it's bullish on the dollar.
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.639
So longs are favored, fair enough.
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:25.279
But do you honestly think that the dollar will just go straight up to where it's where the fair price is based on those fundamentals?
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:26.399
No, absolutely not.
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:30.480
We will see moves to the upside, moves to the downside, and we can catch all those moves.
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:34.159
I agree that trading with the trend is always going to be better.
00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:35.039
100%.
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:46.240
But typically, the fundamentals are gonna be somewhat bad maybe for the day as price is pulling back into a demand zone, and we're still I'm still gonna hop on that trade.
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:52.960
And listen, look, I've been trading for six years without using fundamentals, fundamental analysis at all, and I'm doing just fine.
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:58.080
I really don't think that there's some sort of secret edge when using fundamentals.
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:18.960
Um but I will say this if you are looking for massive, massive risk reward trades, like 10 to 1, you're looking for crazy massive risk reward trades, you're basically an investor at that point, then I if you are gonna do that, then okay, fair enough.
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:23.600
Learn about GDP, learn about earnings if you're trading stocks, interest rates, all that stuff.
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:24.399
Fair enough.
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:42.879
If you're holding, like there's people who I who are day trading or they're entering on a one-hour chart and they're talking about fundamentals, like really, it doesn't make if you're day trading a five-minute chart, or even entering on a one-hour chart, how how do fundamentals affect that?
00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:45.519
Because price doesn't just go straight up, it doesn't.
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:47.519
We will see moves to the downside.
00:16:47.679 --> 00:17:00.639
It could like you know how many times it's economic data is coming out, or it's come out where it's super bearish on the dollar, we see maybe an initial spike down, but then for the rest of the day, we recover and we we fill the gap and we start to push up again.
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:05.039
There's tons of money to be made there, and if there's a demand zone, I'm buying that.
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:11.759
I don't care what the fundamentals say because I know that everybody's gonna be, oh, it's so negative, and I'm gonna be trading against them.
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:20.960
So if you're swing trading one to one, two to one, three to one risk rewards, even five to one risk rewards, you don't need to use fundamental analysis.
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:25.920
It's literally just a huge crazy trend right now because of Trump and all the stuff going on.
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:35.200
Everybody wants to hop on the big move, everybody's tired of getting stopped out because of that volatility, and I understand, but that's that's the reality.
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:42.400
News creates fundamental analysis, it creates volatility, doesn't really create a specific direction at all.
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:50.640
For me to understand trend and direction of where price is going, I will literally use a trend line and my way of using and looking at trends.
00:17:51.039 --> 00:18:00.400
And again, if if fundamentals work for trading, everybody would just read the same news and like oh CPI down, equal good, and I buy now, and now everybody rich.
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:01.119
It's stupid.
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:06.160
Think about that, and then that's the reality too, is you don't know where to put your stop, right?
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:08.480
Fundamentals don't give precise entries.
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:15.599
A news narrative might say the US dollar should go up, but it doesn't tell you where to enter, where to put your stop, or where liquidity is at, or where to put your take profit.
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.640
It doesn't, and the narrative will constantly change as well.
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:29.200
One week inflation will matter, the next week job data does matter, then suddenly uh geopolitics matter, and the people who are chasing these narratives are always reacting late.
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:30.559
That's the reality as well.
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:35.519
So that's why I tell people understand when the fundamentals are coming out, don't predict them.
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:37.039
Trade what is real.
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:41.839
You can again you can identify on a price chart where the banks are buying.
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:57.200
Nobody can sit there and I can pull up one of my demand zones, so I can take anybody on earth, I can pull up one of my demand zones, show the explosive move away, and I will ask them, Did buyers exceed sellers at this price area?
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:03.759
And if they have a brain and eyes, they will say yes, because they will see that price shot up aggressively.
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:15.599
And then my next question to them will be can retail traders like you and I make this move in the forex market or in the oil market or in the gold market?
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:19.839
And if they have brains, if they have a brain, they will say no.
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:22.559
So then who created that move?
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:32.720
A bank or an institution, somebody with millions and millions of dollars, and we want to trade with them, not with the retail traders.
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:34.240
It is that simple.
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.720
And again, it might sound like I'm saying that supply and demand is a holy grail.
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:39.440
Absolutely not.
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:42.160
You will take losses 100%.
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:45.440
There are supply and demand strategies.
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:50.720
If you're looking for a larger risk reward, like one to five, you will literally lose more than you win.
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:51.680
I promise you that.
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:53.039
You can still make money though.
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:55.119
That's what a lot of people don't understand.
00:19:55.759 --> 00:20:03.599
So I'm I'm kind of wrapping up this podcast because it's kind of just a big rant, but it's just I'm just sick of seeing this.
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.279
It's like the newest fad in the in the trading industry.
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:15.680
Before it was SMC or whatever, or ICT, now it's economic data, and you gotta learn the economic data.
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:16.960
No, you don't.
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:24.079
If you're gonna invest in a company, let's say you trade stocks and you're gonna invest in a company, fair enough.
00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:27.839
I mean, you should look at you should look at the CEO of the company.
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:30.079
Is he buying shares or is he selling shares?
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:31.920
Like, is he invested in the company?
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:37.279
These are definitely things you need to consider for long-term investing, 100%.
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:56.720
However, I've also I use a scanner for stocks, and I scan stocks that are at a massive decline, and I basically identify demand zones on a 12-month or a six-month chart, and I have done this so many times where I buy that demand zone, and this is gonna sound crazy.
00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:57.920
I haven't taken a loss yet.
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:04.799
I've only done it about six, six, seven times, because it does take quite a while for price to come back to a 12-month or six-month demand zone.
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:07.839
But I have done just that the concept of buying low.
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:09.839
Haven't even looked at the company.
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:13.200
Like at the fundamentals of the company.
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:15.440
But that's maybe for another discussion.
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:17.039
If you want me to talk about that, I will.
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:19.039
We could talk about long-term investing.
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:21.519
I don't really recommend that unless you know what you're doing.
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:29.599
I also have ri I also have a risk system in play where I don't actually have a stop loss in these markets.
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:33.839
I basically just buy enough shares where if it went to zero, I'm fine with it.
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:36.559
And that has worked out beautifully for me.
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:42.319
Just trade just looking at a level where it's like, okay, clearly buyers exceeded sellers here.
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:43.599
We can't make those moves.
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:44.240
The banks did.
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:45.839
I'm buying where they bought before.
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:49.440
Maybe they're gonna buy there again, maybe there's leftover buy orders, whatever.
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:51.680
So you don't need fundamental analysis.
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:52.799
I'm sick of seeing it.
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:59.599
Uh, there's pr it's it's just another way for these trading gurus and furus, whatever you want to call them.
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:01.680
To sell another course.
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:05.759
And you know, full disclosure, I have a course, I have a membership.
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:12.000
You guys probably know that by now, but I'm not just gonna oh fundamental trading course 101.
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.920
What you need to what you need to learn fundamentals in order to trade.
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:23.359
I could easily do that and probably make a bunch more money trading that because I can I can identify the Google trend of fundamental analysis and do that.
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:28.400
And that's what everybody needs to start understanding is they are just hopping on a trend.
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:31.680
And that to me is such a red flag.
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:43.839
Um, especially like if if somebody was always using fundamental analysis, maybe they look at CPI and they study the CPI and they've identified this week based on this data, maybe it's better to be buying the dollar.
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:52.319
If they've been doing that for the past five years and they have a channel for the past five years, and that's how they've always been trading, that's completely reasonable to me, and I don't think that's a red flag at all.
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:59.279
But if somebody just all of a sudden this year, oh fundament you you don't use fundamentals, you don't have an edge.
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:01.200
Completely BS.
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:06.079
I would comp I would unsubscribe from that person and unfollow that person.
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:08.079
It's it's crazy.
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:14.079
The it's just but that's the reality of this industry is a lot of scummy people out there.
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:16.160
Um we all know who they are.
00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:22.000
Unfortunately, they just keep um screwing people over.
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:27.359
And the reality is all their channels they they make money off of all the newbies in trading.
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:43.920
It'd be it's it's amazing how many people I've seen join my group, and they're like, I have spent thousands of dollars, I spent a thousand dollars, two thousand dollars on this person's membership, and you explain more in one Sunday meeting than they explain in their entire course, and I'm not surprised.
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:46.720
It's crazy, and it makes me sick.
00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:51.440
You guys know I I hate these gurus, and okay, you can call me a guru if you want to.
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:52.079
Fair enough.
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:58.160
I have a channel, I have a course, whatever, but at least I post my I'm posting my forecasts before they take place.
00:23:58.240 --> 00:23:59.839
I'm not just posting PLs.
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.799
I could easily create a PNL, I could easily show my PL, but I'm not gonna do that.
00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:09.680
So, anyways, it's been like a 25-minute rant.
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:11.839
I hope you guys learned something here.
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:16.079
Um, remember, fundamentals, that's for investors, that's for long-term trades.
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:21.200
You're looking for a two-to-one trade, you're not you don't need fundamentals, you really don't.
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:22.240
I promise you that.
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:27.039
All you need to understand is when the news is coming out, that's important.
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:35.759
And again, let me let me reemphasize that fundamentals will drive price, but it doesn't mean that price is is just gonna go from point A to point C.
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:48.640
We're gonna go to from point A to point B, most likely drop, dip, where we can then buy the dip, or even short at point B, short at 200, whatever whatever you want to use to just try to create example in my head.
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:54.640
I wish I could show you guys in a chart, but it doesn't mean that price is gonna go from point A to point C immediately.
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:59.200
If it did, we would all be rich because we just read that headline and boom, we're buying.
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:02.799
It's not reality, it's not reality at all.
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:12.720
So remember, if you see these guys on here all of a sudden talking about fundamental analysis, they're just hopping on a trend.
00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:15.279
It is just marketing BS.
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:22.160
But again, if if it if this person has always used fundamental and their now fundamental analysis and their overall analysis, fair enough.
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:23.440
I have nothing wrong with that.
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:25.440
Um, I am not targeting those people at all.
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:27.039
I really don't know anybody like that.
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:29.119
I'm not targeting those people at all.
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:32.559
So if you're a day trader, understand when the red folder news is coming out.
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:41.359
Go to forexfactory.com and then look at the time, and then for example, let's say the neck economic data is coming out at 8 a.m.
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:46.000
I would hold off on trading until after 8.15.
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:49.200
Wait for that spike to take place, because it will spike.
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:52.960
And and notice notice this as well.
00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:55.119
Let's say it does spike.
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:59.200
Look at the data, look at what came out, identify if it is positive.
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:03.839
Let's just say the date the data came out and it's positive where price should spike to the upside.
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:06.559
Do you honestly think it's always gonna spike to the upside?
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:08.480
No, it's gonna spike to the downside.
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:18.960
Maybe the algorithms I've have identified that there are a bunch of stop losses below a certain low, and they're gonna spike them out first and then shoot up.
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:21.119
That's why we need to trade what is real.
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:30.240
That's why supply and demand trading is so relevant and so objective, and in my opinion, it is the best trading strategy because it's so objective.
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:37.759
Where maybe, and again, that doesn't mean that if you trade chart patterns or indicators or whatever, I'm sure there's uh people trading that profitably.
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:39.200
I'm not denying that.
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:50.400
But uh a triangle pattern doesn't really move the market, the banks move the market, and we can identify in a price chart where the banks are buying and selling.
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:55.599
And you hopefully I explained that good enough in this uh in this podcast.
00:26:55.759 --> 00:27:03.599
Again, I wish this was a visual podcast because it would help a little bit, but um, I hope you guys learned a lot in this podcast.
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:11.039
Um, I know it's controversial based off the comments I've been getting, and you don't trade fundamentals, what you idiot?
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:20.079
And it's like, yeah, you're just you're just a victim to uh trading guru marketing because of a spike in in uh in search results.
00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:21.119
It's hilarious.
00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:22.799
So you don't need it.
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.720
If if you're gonna be a if you're gonna be an investor, you're gonna learn about companies, fair enough.
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:33.599
Look into their earnings, look into the in the GDP of the country, you're you're you're looking to invest in a currency, fair enough.
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:37.680
But you also need to consider the chart as well.
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:38.880
Trade what is real.
00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:48.880
Do you think that when price, let's say, let's last, last but not least here, do you think let's just say there's a monthly demand zone and price is dipping significantly.
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:55.519
Do you honestly think that the news that the fundamentals are gonna be good as we dip into that that monthly zone?
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:56.559
Probably not.
00:27:57.200 --> 00:27:58.160
Probably not.
00:27:58.319 --> 00:28:02.480
But we're still gonna buy at that zone because we're looking for two to one, three to one trades here.
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:05.759
We're not looking for 15, 20 to 1 trades.
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:08.319
And if you're doing that, fair enough.
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:12.319
Look at the data, look at the look at the CPI, all that stuff.
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:12.880
Fair enough.
00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:13.519
Come up.
00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:16.400
I don't even know how to look at all that and what to think about all that.
00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:17.440
I really don't.
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:19.759
Because I'm not looking for 15 to 1 trades.
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:22.160
I'm looking to get in and I'm looking to get out.
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:32.160
Once you get above 5 to 1 risk reward, pushing towards a 10 to 1, which I don't even recommend because nobody can really handle those losses, because you're gonna lose more.
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:34.880
There's no there's a pros and cons to everything.
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:38.480
If you're looking for massive risk rewards, you're gonna you're gonna lose more trades.
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:39.839
It's it's that simple.
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:42.160
So hopefully you guys learned a lot.
00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:43.839
Let me know what you thought about this podcast.
00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:46.640
What do you guys think about fundamental analysis?
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:47.519
Is it BS?
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:53.119
And it's it's kind of a it is kind of a clickbaity title because it's not BS.
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:59.279
It does move the market, but it's BS if you're looking for a two to one, three to one risk reward, which is what I see these people trading for.
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:03.599
There are literally these gurus day trading, a five-minute, one-minute time frame.
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:06.640
They're scalpers and they're talking about fundamentals.
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:08.319
It is just hilarious.
00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:10.960
So, anyways, that's gonna wrap it up.
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:12.400
Hope you guys enjoyed this podcast.

Watch my forecast.
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:23.680
Go back, look at the predictions that I've been making.
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:28.079
Again, that US dollar monthly demand zone, weekly demand zone I've been talking about.
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:35.119
We have seen literally, I'm looking at it right now, one, two, three reactions off of the zone, and we are finally going to where I was talking about.
00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:39.599
And again, every time we came back into that weekly zone, I had a person commenting on my forecast.
00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:41.359
You you complete moron.
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:43.200
The US dollar is weak.
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:44.079
Why would you buy?
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:50.480
And they probably lost every single trade that they took trying to short the dollar because the fundamentals or whatever.
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:51.680
It's funny.
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:53.279
So hope you guys learned a lot.
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:56.480
